Free Jestina Mukoko and all ZCTU and other civic organization members in detention
We in MDC-USA join our colleagues at home and abroad in calling for the release of Jestina Mukoko and others. Persecution of NGO members as well as the MDC members has been rampant, blatant and brutal. So many lives have been lost at the hands of the ZANU PF, police and the CIO has gone unchallenged for a long time. Our situation is becoming like a soap opera where at times it gets so confusing as to what happens next. ZANU PF is hoodwinking the whole world to believe it can be reformed. For all the leaders calling for Mugabe to be removed they are visionaries because we can only watch the demise of our country men and women if we leave him in power. He has no sense of wrong and right and treats Zimbabwe like his village. No rule of law exists. Imagine High Court judges one after the other refusing to hear the case of Jestina Mukoko. The judicial system itself is afraid of the legislature whereas these institutions are supposed to work hand in hand.
As an appeal we come again to the international world to look seriously into the problems bedeviling Zimbabwe. There is a serious need to have Mugabe step down from power and let real change take place. Time has come for Mugabe supporters to tell him the truth that he gracefully leaves the scene now. He had his time this one is not his time. People are dying, suffering and impoverished and he clouts about blaming the opposition and the west. We need all the political detainees freed and the immediate stop of persecution of all civic organizations. We can no longer tolerate the now famous tag of being number one for the wrong reasons. Cholera is killing our people right now, no hospital is fully functional, no drugs for people suffering with HIV/AIDS, no schools for our children, the list is endless. Add to that inflation, unemployment and lack of basic commodities and just see how gloomy the picture gets?
We are peaceful people and the regime has taken us for a free ride. We need to reclaim our value in society. We do have so many struggles to deal with but for now we call for the release of Jestina Mukoko and others. I salute my brothers and sisters back home who continue to demonstrate and getting arrested but know that the cause is what drives them not the brutality they face at the hands of the police. To Lovemore Madhuku, John Makumbe, Brian Kagoro and Pius Wakatama and others in churches and civic organs in Zimbabwe MDC-USA stand by you in these struggles. To our MDC colleagues in Zimbabwe, we stand by you all the way. Sister Jestina Mukoko our prayers go to you and your family hoping the best for this twisted saga.
